apply: learn to use a different index file

Sometimes we want to apply in a different index file.

Before the apply functionality was libified it was possible to
use the GIT_INDEX_FILE environment variable, for this purpose.

But now, as the apply functionality has been libified, it should
be possible to do that in a libified way.
